Thank you for tuning in. Do join us tomorrow for the match between Chennai Superkings and Mumbai Indians at 8 pm local time.
Virender Sehwag becomes the first Indian to win the Man of the Match in the IPL.
Sehwag: "If it's my day nobody can stop me. Asif and McGrath bowled really well. Team is gelling really well and hopefully we'll do well in next games."
Laxman says 143 was never a good enough score and it's very disappointing to lose in front of the home crowd.
Delhi now move to second position on the points table. Their present NRR is 2.99
What an explosive knock from Virender Sehwag. 94 off 41 balls, 10 fours, 6 sixes and he took a special liking to Symonds, pasting him for 30 in his last over. Watch the highlights of this one if you get the chance. A clinical performance then from the Daredevils as they win by 9 wickets with 7 overs to spare, not bad at all for the Net run rate!
